Defense Support Services, Inc.

Defense Support Services, Inc., a minority-owned, HUBZone-certified small disadvantaged business based in Arlington, Texas, supplies aviation hardware, fastening components, and consumable spare parts to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on a Total Small Business set-aside basis. The company is a Subchapter S corporation and self-certified small disadvantaged business with DOT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise designation, competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-aside vehicles and full-and-open orders with the Defense Logistics Agency.

Defense Support Services' footprint is nearly entirely Defense Logistics Agency work across three divisions. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation division accounts for 7,251 awards totaling $108.4 million combined potential value, anchoring the vendor's portfolio; the Troop Support Hardware division has placed 5,103 awards worth $46.6 million; and the Land and Maritime division has issued 878 awards for $22.9 million. Combined, these three DLA lines represent 99 percent of award count and 78 percent of combined potential value, with the remaining portfolio scattered across 20 other customer agencies in minimal volumes. The vendor competes almost exclusively on DLA vehicles—indefinite delivery contracts with ceiling values ranging from $350 thousand to $2.36 million—and has won approximately 14,116 prime awards since 2000, with $92.9 million obligated against $234.9 million in combined potential value.

Recent capability work centers on discrete fastening and hardware procurement: socket head cap screws, self-locking nuts, blind rivets, shear bolts, machine bolts, turnlock fasteners and studs, coupling clamps, tube elbows and fittings, and related consumables under Federal Supply Classes 53 (Hardware and Abrasives) and 46 (Pipe, Tubing, Hose, and Fittings), primarily NAICS 332722 (Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing) and 332510 (Hardware Manufacturing). Representative recent awards include a $1.48 million definitive contract from DLA Aviation (awarded December 4, 2025) for pin-rivet collars for B-52 aircraft through October 2027; a $274.96 million total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Aviation (November 25, 2025) for close-tolerance screws with 86,466 units to be delivered to Warner Robins by April 2027; a $185.48 million total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Aviation (February 12, 2026) for blind rivets with 2,430 units to DLA Distribution Depot Oklahoma through November 2027; and a $143.58 million purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (November 26, 2025) for 3,892 tube elbows to support military maintenance and repair through October 2027. The vendor also holds five active indefinite delivery contracts: one for signal horns ($750 thousand, through April 2031), one for aviation hardware and fastening components ($349.99 thousand, through April 2031), one for grooved clamp couplings ($2.36 million, through April 2031), one for welding studs ($350 thousand, through April 2027), and one for shear bolts ($350 thousand, through March 2027).

Activity has declined year over year—1,295 awards in 2022 to 135 in 2026 (year-to-date through April 14)—but this reflects the vendor's shift from high-volume small delivery orders to larger, multi-million-dollar task orders and definitive contracts. Awards with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months total $7.7 million combined potential value across 159 awards, representing moderate recompete exposure. The vendor operates no subcontract business; all 14,116 awards are prime. Place of performance is exclusively Arlington, Texas, with shipments to various CONUS and OCONUS DLA depots. The company has held federal contracting registration since February 2002 and is a 100 percent prime contractor—no sub-award footprint.
